About this blueprint

Inputs Python Outputs

This flow shows how you can create a templated flow (subflow) to run a custom script. This flow can be used in another flow, acting like a separated component. We can imagine having a complex flow, with many tasks but abstracted with inputs and outputs, so users can only deal with a simple interface. Here is an example of calling this flow, giving inputs and retrieve the desired outputs.

tasks:
  - id: python
    type: io.kestra.plugin.core.flow.Subflow
    namespace: company.team
    flowId: python_subflow_component
    wait: true
    inputs:
      arg1: 5
      arg2: 3
    outputs:
      result: '{{ outputs.python.vars.result }}'
